Math Behind PMM
Token Type
base
and quote
are two concepts that will be mentioned frequently. Two easy ways to distinguish between them are:
In a trading pair, the
base
is always the token before the hyphen, andquote
is after itIn transactions, the price refers to how many
quote
tokens are needed in exchange for onebase
token
For example, in the ETH-USDC trading pair, ETH is the base
token and USDC is the quote
token.
Pool Parameters
The funding pool of PMM is described by four parameters:
PMM Formula
The PMM price curve is plotted by the following pricing formula:
AMM & Stable Swap Use Cases
PMM supports transition to AMM and stable coin trading as well.
Traditional AMM
PMM is a generalization of AMM, when:
k = 1
deposit and withdraw in proportion to the current pool ratio
Stable swap
PMM can also be used as stable swap, when:
i = 1
k = 0.0001
